ON TO OKLOHOMA

Eli. DORADO, KAN, Dec. 15.-From
certain movements, of gentleman who
are well posted, it appears that there is
being secretly organized an immense
scheme to make raid on Oklohoma in
the early spring. This movement ex-
tends over two or three states, The ar
rangement being that the way to open
the Indian Territory to settlement is to
open it. They say that q hundred
thousand men will go into the territory
at . given date. and that the govern
ment has not enough troops to keep
them out. One of the leaders Of the

The brutality Of the boycott system

tse recent case of Joseph Johoda, ex-

shows the system exactly as it needs to
be seen. The poor fellow was bunch

Gently or by his connivance, he was
working at lc per hundred under union
prices. 1t is claimed that the single
cold cent was absorbed by the men over
him. But he was kicked out of the
union as scab, and work was refused
him everywhere. He sought it in every
direction for weeks, but the boycott
was not to be broken through. There
was no mercy to be mcted. Had CAPT
tali.ts treated laborer in this manner
there would have been more anarchic
howls-perhaps mountaineering. But
this was the work of the laborers, and
therefore assumed to be right. The
man walked the streets, begging for
work. until he was half starved, weak
and despairing, He hung himself. No
matter about who was guilty, it was the
work of cowardice and selfshness 1t
was the application of a principle that
we must never see generally applied IN

be exposed; but this is the
murderous selfishness Of labor. Both

The enthusiasm, SO easily eni.indled.

Weakness, languor, sickness itself
vanished before this inylncible spirit.

throbbing, swathed in flanneis, buried
under overcoats, with wrappings around

ON his cheek, when he rose for his arpu-
mont all facts reported by witnesses In
the case, all legal principles hearing
upon it, all passages Of history, letters

or confound his antagonists seemed
visibly present to his mind.
He thought Of nothing but Jury and
verdict. His eloquence was then as com
pietely independent Of technical rule as
the screams OF passion or the shouts of q
mob. He was after u favorable decision
OF the case, as II his own life depended
upon 1t. Short, sharp, SCATTERING words
ratified Hike volleys before and after re.
sounding sentences.
Language heaped on his lips. Images
delicate, homely, startling, blazed upon
his pictured words. The common court
became a scene Of the most astonishing
intellectual action. Judge Shaw looked
at him as he might have looked AT
the firm set heavens. gllttering with

The farmers, mechanics, traders, on

call on young French girl who was
about TO DO married. We found the
fiancee In anything but an amiable flame
OF mind, owing. she explained to- her
inability TO receive her future husband
who had called three times. Her mother
was suffering from rheumatism and could
not accompany her to the drawing room,
so he was compelled to go away without
seeing her.
Another incident occurred while I
was at school In Paris. Tho girls re-
turned from the New Year vacations and
impaired the news that Mario X. would
not come back, as she was going to be
married. She was barely seventeen and

A Fen Picture ofthe Great rural Pastlme,


A Fen Picture ofthe Great Rural Pastime.
On Wednesday, by invitation, we at
tended a big sorn-shucking at ]. b.
Affords.
When we arrived at Mr.. Affords we
found about fifty or sixty of the neigh
bors and their ethands" surrounding
immense piles of corn, and the shucks
and ears were flying in every direction.
We took a turn at the pile, and our
hands and wrists are sore yet from
the unusual exercise.
Gathered around the pile were farm
ers, negroes, Justice of the peace,
a lawyer, q merchant, an editor and
q physician. lfr. Afford made about
1900 bushels Of corn, besides q full
crop OF cotton, etc. Very few farmers are
unsuccessful as he. His farm Is self-sus-
talning, and he always has corn to sell.
Mrs. Afford and her accomplished
daughters had grand feast provided
for the shuckers at noon, and while the
tables didn't groan under the weight of
edibles, as the stereotype writer's would
say, It was fact that they were crowded
With everything In the way OF good vic
tGals to be had, cooked In tho best style,
and our generous host and hostess did
everything in their power to make every
body cat hearty and enjoy themselves,
In which laudable undertaking they
succeeded.
There was old ham, tho sort that
makes red gravy, and fresh pork and
turnips and cabbage and potatoes and
chickens and chick pie and oysters and
sardines and cheese and pies and pound
cake and pickles and preserves, world
without end.
When we left at 3 p. NJ. constant access
sions were being made to the shucking
brigade, commanded by Major Shelton,
and the work went brayely on. It was
thought that the corn would all be
shucked by II at night.
Mr.. Affords family is remarkable.
He has eight children, we believe, and not
single member OF the family have ever
used tobacco In any form, and they are
all healthy and fine-looking, from the
father and mother down to the youngest
child. Hartwell (Ga.) Sun.
